Save & Exit Menu
The Save & Exit setup menu includes all available options for exiting, saving, and loading the
BIOS default configuration. You can also press <F9> to load BIOS default settings and <F10>
to save changes and exit setup.
The Save & Exit setup menu includes the following settings:
•
Save Changes and Reset—Any changes made to BIOS settings are stored in NVRAM.
The setup utility then exits and reboots the controller.
•
Discard Changes and Reset—Any changes made to BIOS settings during this session of
the BIOS setup utility since the last save are discarded. The setup utility then exits and
reboots the controller. The <Esc> key can also be used to select this option.
•
Save Changes—Changes made to BIOS settings during this session are committed to
NVRAM. The setup utility remains active, allowing further changes.
•
Discard Changes—Any changes made to BIOS settings during this session of the BIOS
setup utility since the last save are discarded. The BIOS setup continues to be active.
•
Restore Factory Defaults—This option restores all BIOS settings to the factory default.
This option is useful if the controller exhibits unpredictable behavior due to an incorrect
or inappropriate BIOS setting. Any nondefault settings are also restored to their factory
defaults. The <F9> key can also be used to select this option.
•
Save as User Defaults—This option saves a copy of the current BIOS settings as the User
Defaults. This option is useful for preserving custom BIOS setup configurations.
•
Boot Override—This option lists all possible bootable devices and allows the user to
override the Boot Option Priorities list for the current boot. If no changes have been
made to the BIOS setup options, the system will continue booting to the selected device
without first rebooting. If BIOS setup options have been changed and saved, a reboot is
required and the boot override selection will not be valid.
Restoring the Windows Operating System
You can restore the Windows operating system on the hard drive of the NI CVS-1459 from the
reinstallation DVD shipped with device.
Note
Restoring the operating system erases the contents of the hard drive. Back up
any files you want to keep before restoring the hard drive.
Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive
You can create a bootable USB flash drive from the reinstallation DVD if you do not have a
USB DVD drive to connect to the NI CVS-1459. The USB flash drive must be at least 8 GB.
Ensure the USB flash drive appears as a Removable Drive in Windows. Avoid using drives
that appear as Fixed Disk drives. Complete the following steps to prepare the USB flash drive
for recovery.
Note
If you have an external USB DVD drive, you can use the external DVD drive
to restore Windows without creating a bootable USB flash drive. Proceed to the next
section if you are using an external DVD drive.
